Chart-topper Tom Walker stuns crowds by busking in Piccadilly Gardens to promote new single and album 'I Am'
Chart-topper Tom Walker stunned crowds in Manchester city centre today – when he busked at Piccadilly Gardens.
Dozens of fans took in the free gig as Walker performed hit single Leave a Light On and Just You and I. The 32-year-old, who won a Brit in 2019 as the best Breakthrough Act, had announced the performance on his social media accounts this morning to promote the event.
Walker was in Manchester to publicise his new single, the title track of his album ‘I Am’ – joking it was a desperate ploy to beat Katy Perry to a top-five spot.
He said: “It would be absolutely class to have ‘beaten Katy Perry’ on your CV.”
Walker, who joked to fans he was “flogging like QVC”, also signed records and CDs for fans at Piccadilly Gardens. He will be signing copies of his new album at HMV inside the Arndale Centre tonight. Walker is currently in the middle of a world tour and for the rest of the year will be flying around the world to places such as Brussels, Paris, New York and LA.
